Friendship Park

I found a new park this Saturday. Friendship Park is on the top of a hill in Palos Verdes and overlooks the ocean and the city of San Pedro, but on this clear sunny day, I could see Mount Baldy & downtown Los Angeles. I walked up the windy hill, which switches from pavement to dirt, and felt so happy to be alive, and so happy to live next to the Ocean. I took photos of myself with my tripod, and there was hardly anyone around, so I didn't feel like a boner this time. I'm wearing an outfit almost identical to one my mom wore often on a summer's day in the early 80s when I was a child, except she wore red shorts. I didn't realize it until I had it on. Like my mom, I am a child of nature.



Catalina Island


I must have got some smudge or dust on my lens cause there's a dirty bubble following me around in my photos.
Outfit: silk embroidered top, red keds (thrifted), purple shorts (Etsy), butterfly scarf

aqua fresh

Hi guys,
I rarely wear pants & I even more rarely wear jeans, unless, of course, they're some funky minty aqua color. Pete & I took a walk along a nature preserve in Bolsa Chica on Sunday. It was a sunny crisp day, and I actually enjoyed wearing something casual. I wore this shirt two days in a row!





I'm not sure how it happened, but these photos are saturated with turquoise. I kind of like it.

Outfit: minty jeans, 80s knit sweater (thrifted), pink knit cardigan (Wendy Hil), sandals (Nine West), bullet & cross necklace (Long Beach Flea Market)

jesse's bday weekend

Jesse’s bday weekend was so much fun. I was pretty decadent and stuffed my face with all kinds of sugar, including Amanda’s homemade cookies. I really flipped my lid when I took my first bite to discover an oreo cookie inside the chocolate chip cookie. I’m gonna try and lay off the sugar this week to make up for this weekend’s gluttony. The mixed-cd music swap was a success, and Pete & I came home with tons of new music. Elliott stayed the night on Friday, and after my photography class on Saturday, we all hung out, just like old times. We went to Joe Jost’s and played Canadian shuffle board, then we went thrift store shopping, and,
lastly, to Fingerprint’s Record Store. I bought Kate Bush's "The Kick Inside", which I really wanted on record.

Pete and I did some tag team photo snapping to capture these moments. We both shot with Minolta point & shoot film cameras, but mine is really big and awkward looking, kind of like how cell phones used to look when they first came out. I bought it for $2 at a flea market barn.

For Jesse’s party, I dressed somewhat Amish- like (my rendition), in honor of the Mexican-Amish look he used to sport so often.






the next day



I hope ya'll had an equally delightful weekend.

Outfit: 80s knit top, vintage wool pleated maxi skirt, ankle cowboy boots (thrifted), bullet & cross necklace (LB Flea Market)
